Andre & Kirstin

Andre and Kirstin’s wedding vow renewal was a very special one for me, partly because Kirst and I have been friends since school and also because it was my first trip to the Kruger. Their bush inspired wedding was held at Grand Kruger Lodge in Marloth Park, just outside the Kruger National Park, on the Crocodile River. It was an unbelievable setting for such a happy celebration, with the bride and groom all the way from Australia and so many friends and family from all over the world joining them. I am so glad that you chose me to be a part of this fantastic celebration, you two are such a perfect couple. xx

Adam & Elizma

Adam and Elizma remind me of the saying, “The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation that you ever had.” They have a magnetic kind of quiet contentedness when they are with each other. Elizma and Adam tied the knot on a gorgeous sunny day at Canelands in Salt Rock, just north of Durban. Huge congratulations to both of you, it was such fun shooting your wedding xxx

Sam & Marc’s Magical Litchi Orchard Wedding

Marc and Sam had their magical wedding at The Litchi Orchard in Salt Rock, KZN. One of the last weddings that the venue was due to hold. It was one of the most fun weddings I have shot because a large portion of the guests were friends and Sam and Marc really made sure that they included me in everything and even asked me to stay and party after – love that! It was such a pleasure to be a part your day, you two are so great together, wishing you endless joy and happiness together! xxx Check out their amazing service providers below: Venue: The Litchi Orchard Event Planner: Carolyn McNeil from Adore Weddings Decor: Labola Make Up Artist: Juliet Downes DJ: Kevin Louw p.s never seen people dance like this at a wedding, Kevin is the shiz!

Jacki & Dave’s Winter Midlands Wedding

I was absolutely thrilled when I was asked to photograph Jacki and Dave’s wedding at Farside Farm in Nottingham Road a couple months back. I have know Jacki and Dave as a couple from when they first got together … where I did a shoot for them … and it was such a pleasure to be there to capture their special day. The day was super relaxed and happy and I was out of my mind happy with all of the gorgeous location options for the creative shoots. Hope that these shots bring through the happy vibes on the day. Congrats once again to the gorgeous Mr & Mrs Woolnough and wishing you many many more! xxx Venue: Farside Farm Event Planner: Graham Edmunds Cheese Cake & Special Elements: Tracy Martens Caterer: CHC Make Up Artist: Hayley Hair: Amanda Fox Videographer: Dave Atkinson of BND Imaging DJ: Jason Elkington

Carolyne and Tony’s – Oyster Box Wedding

This is a small snapshot of Carolyne and Tony’s wedding that I shot at The Oyster Box a few months ago. They love the beach and love food so this was a natural venue choice, with gorgeous views and a delectable 6 course dinner. I love the class and sophistication of the whole wedding and I love the cheeky giggles I managed to get on the creative shoot. Congrats to you both, thank you for having me shoot this fantastic celebration. xxx

Gwen & John-Owen’s Beach Wedding

It was a beautiful day for Gwen & John-Owen’s intimate wedding ceremony on the beach in Umhlanga. Aside from being a little windy, it was a pretty perfect afternoon. These two are so sweet and in love it was such fun getting creative with them after the ceremony. Congrats to you both and thank you so much for having me be a part of your special day xx

Bohemian Beatnik [Styled Shoot]

I find that styled shoots are a great way to ‘refresh’ my creativity, what’s difficult about them though, is to focus when you have so much pretty to look at. I’m kind of like a magpie to these things. So here we are, a small selection of what the team and I got up to at the beautiful Old Halliwell Country Inn a few weeks ago, enjoy. Massive thank you to Kimberly from Natural Nostalgia for putting it all together, so great to work with you my friend – you are so talented! Belle & Bravado, can’t thank you enough for the three gorgeous dresses and head pieces.

MR & Mrs Rorholt

Carryn and Graeme flew out from New Zealand for their wedding, they had such a fun crowd and are such a happy and in love couple. The weather didn’t really play it’s part, with very high winds and a bit of rain, but I think we triumphed over it. It was so special to be a part of your day, thank you for hiring me

Mr & Mrs Tennant

I photographed Dave and Leigh’s wedding at Netherwood right in the middle of winter. It was phenomenal weather for this time of year in the Midlands (KZN). It’s hard for me to describe (now that I am trying to) but Leigh and Dave have such a natural, regal, classic and comfortable way about them. This was further amplified by the way that their friends speak of them, everyone adores them and I think these photos show why. Every part of the day was filled with laughter and loads of friends and family. Everything on the day ran around 30 minutes early(in photographer time), it’s almost unheard of, this set the tone for a calm relaxed pace through everything. Dave and Leigh were so caring and considerate and were always checking in on how I was doing which really is, above and beyond general expectations, it was great to feel so much a part of their special day, I can’t thank you both enough, (to the point of making me tea after our creative shoot! – I will never forget that haha). Congratulations to you both, lots and lots of love. See more images from this wedding here: http://katevanonselen.pass.us/tennant/ (click images to […]
